This Week’s HIGHLIGHTS Community Updates and Exciting New Opportunities

Dear Readers,

We are excited to bring you this week’s updates and new opportunities within our vibrant community.

On August 6th, Jamaica proudly celebrated 62 years of independence. In this edition, we share heartfelt Independence Messages from the Governor General, Prime Minister, Leader of the Opposition, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Minister of State, and the Consul General.

Mark your calendars! The rescheduled Church Service will now take place on August 25 at the New Jerusalem Worship Center. We look forward to gathering with you for this special occasion.

Don’t miss the Jamaica Independence Celebration event hosted by JAMLEO at 1 Police Plaza. It’s set to be a grand affair, bringing our community together in unity and joy.

For the weekend, be sure to catch Morgan Heritage performing at Central Park’s Summer Stage—an event not to be missed for any music lover.

Stay tuned for these and more happenings in our community. We are dedicated to keeping you informed and connected.

We are committed to keeping you informed and connected.

Warm regards,
